Boiler brands
Ideal Heating, based in Hull, makes the Logic family of boilers that you will find in many British homes. If an Ideal boiler is on your list, here is a plain guide to the range and the installation.
The Ideal Logic range covers combi, system and heat-only boilers at the everyday end of the market. Logic Max models add features and, in some cases, longer warranty terms depending on the installer. The Vogue range sits above them. Names and specifications change, so it is worth checking Ideal's website for current models.
The Logic combi comes in several outputs. The higher the output, the faster it can heat water for a shower, which matters more in a busy house than a quiet one. Pick an output that matches your hot water use rather than the biggest number on offer.
If two showers run at the same time in your home, a combi of any brand may struggle. A system boiler with a cylinder could be the better fit.
Ideal runs its own installer programme, and the warranty you get can vary with the model and the installer. If you want the longest cover, check Ideal's current terms and ask whoever quotes whether they qualify. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is normally a condition of any warranty.
The boiler model is only one part of the price; the flue, controls and any pipework changes count too. Our new boiler cost guide explains the factors, our boiler installation page covers the survey, and boiler servicing keeps the new boiler healthy.

Most problems with any boiler come from the system around it rather than the boiler itself. Sludge in old radiators, low pressure and blocked condensate pipes cause many call-outs. Keeping the filter cleaned at each service, topping up pressure when needed and lagging the outside part of the condensate pipe all help. If your heating starts making odd sounds, our guide to a boiler making noise explains the usual causes. And if the boiler locks out, check the display code and the pressure before you call, so the conversation starts with useful facts.
